PREFACE. 


The  object  of  this  little  volume  is  to  place  before  every 
druggist  reliable  formulas  for  preparing  well-known  medi- 


These  preparations — Elixirs,  Emulsions,  Medicated  Syrups 
and  Wines,  etc. — have  become  so  universal  that  there  is 
scarcely  a druggist  within  the  length  and  breadth  of  the 
land  who  does  not  have  more  or  less  sale  for  them ; and 
to  be  enabled  to  prepare  them  is  not  only  a source  of 
satisfaction,  but  is  also  very  desirable  on  account  of  the 
increase  of  profits. 

In  the  other  respective  departments  the  formulas  will  be 
found  to  be  reliable,  and  can  be  depended  upon.  In  fact, 
all  the  formulas  contained  in  the  work  are  “ practical.’ ’ 
They  have  been  prepared  again  and  again,  and  never 
failed  to  produce  the  desired  result  if  carefully  com- 
pounded. 

The  weights  and  measures  used  in  the  formulas  are 
those  adopted  by  the  Pharmaceutical  Association  (they  will 
be  found  in  the  Appendix  to  this  work).  The  fluidounce 
is  to  be  considered,  if  not  otherwise  directed,  and  the 
pound  is  always  to  be  understood  as  consisting  of  twelve 
ounces.  The  directions  for  maceration  or  displacement, 
percolation,  specific  gravity,  with  other  general  informa- 
tion, being  so  plainly  set  forth  in  the  U.  S.  Dispensatory 
at  the  beginning  of  Part  Second  of  that  work,  it  is  un- 
necessary to  produce  them  here.

This  “Elixir”  is  liable  to  precipitate.  Manufacturers  of 
pepsin  claim  that  a perfect  solution  of  pepsin  with  bismuth 
cannot  be  made.  Elixir  makers  allow  the  solution  to  take 
up  as  much  pepsin  as  possible,  by  letting  it  stand  undis- 
turbed for  a week  or  so,  and  filtering  it  before  sending 
to  their  customers.

APPENDIX. 


ADULTERATIONS  AND  TESTS  OF  ESSENTIAL  OILS. 

There  is  not  the  slightest  doubt  in  the  minds  of  drug- 
gists that  a large  amount  of  “fixing”  is  done  by  some 
party,  either  in  the  manufacture  or  jobbing  of  Essential 
Oils.  As  a starting-point,  always  buy  your  “oils”  of  a 
responsible  dealer,  in  whom  you  have  implicit  confidence  : 
then  if  there  are  any  “impurities”  you  will  know  that  the 
manufacturer  is  the  guilty  person,  and  your  redress  is  to 
return  them  to  the  dealer. 

It  will  be  found  of  advantage  always  to  keep  the  “ oils” 
in  the  dark,  and  at  as  even  a temperature  as  possible. 
The  color  of  an  oil  is  no  guarantee  of  its  purity.  All 
“oils”  undergo  more  or  less  change  from  age  and  from 
the  action  of  light  and  air.  Some  become  darker,  others 
grow  lighter.  A pure  Oil  of  Orange  has  been  known  to 
change  in  a few  days  after  exposure  to  light  and  air  so 
that  the  best  judge  could  not  tell  it  from  pure  Oil  of  Tur- 
pentine. Oil  of  Lemon  and  Oil  of  Bergamot  will,  if 
placed  in  a strong  sunlight,  soon  lose  their  color  and  emit 
a strong  turpentine  smell.  This  characteristic  is  also  ob- 
served with  many  of  the  Essential  Oils:  the  turpentine 
odor  is  natural  to  them,  and  manufacturers  often  take 
advantage  of  this,  thus  reaping  large  profits,  by  fraud- 
ulently* adding  Turpentine  in  quantities  that  will  not  be 
observed  by  the  ordinary  dealer.

4:82 

OIL  OF  SWEET  ALMONDS. 

This  oil  is  pure,  or  nearly  so,  as  found  in  the  market. 
When  adulterated,  it  is  with  Olive  Oil ; and,  as  both  of 
these  oils  are  used  medicinally  alike,  the  adulteration  is 
not  of  much  consequence. 


4:83 

OIL  OF  BITTER  ALMONDS. 

The  peculiar  smell  of  this  oil,  and  its  specific  gravity, — 
1.043, — are  reliable  tests.  With  Sulphuric  Acid  it  forms 
a clear  solution  having  a reddish-brown  color.  With  an 
alcoholic  solution  of  Caustic  Potassa  crystals  are  precip- 
itated. With  all  acids  it  has  a decided  reaction.  With 
Chromate  of  Potassium  there  is  no  action,  and  with  almost 
all  the  reagents  there  is  some  peculiar  characteristic  by 
which  its  purity  can  be  established. 


4:84= 

OIL  OF  AMBER. 

The  manufacturers  of  this  oil  often  substitute  Gum 
Copal  or  Gum  Damar.  There  is  no  test  by  which  to  deter- 
mine the  genuine  from  the  fraudulent. 


4:85 

OIL  OF  ANISE 

has  a specific  gravity  of  0.9768  to  0.9903,  according  to 
age.  At  50°  Fahrenheit  it  crystallizes ; but  this  is  not 
always  a guarantee  of  its  purity,  as  it  is  often  adulterated 
with  Spermaceti,  White  Wax,  or  Camphor.  To  detect  an 


APPENDIX . 


159 


admixture,  dissolve  the  suspected  oil  in  95  per  cent.  Alco- 
hol. Wax  or  Spermaceti  not  being  soluble  in  Alcohol, 
they  will  remain  undissolved.  Heat  in  a test-tube,  and  if 
Camphor  be  present  it  will  be  known  by  its  odor.  The 
pure  oil  treated  with  Iodine  congeals  into  a solid  mass, 
producing  perceptible  warmth  and  giving  off  yellowish- 
red  and  gray  vapors.  Sulphuric  Acid  and  the  oil  heated 
in  a test-tube  produce  a beautiful  purple-red  color,  and  the 
mixture  quickly  thickens,  and  then  becomes  hard. 


486 

OIL  OF  BERGAMOT. 

Its  specific  gravity — 0.87  to  0.88 — is  the  best  means  of 
testing  its  purity  or  admixture  with  Alcohol.  Its  smell 
when  heated  in  a test-tube  will  determine  an  adulteration 
of  Turpentine.  It  can  be  distinguished  from  Oil  of  Lemon 
or  Oil  of  Orange  by  its  forming  a clear  solution  in  Liquor 
Potassae. 

4:87 

OIL  OF  CARAWAY, 

as  found  in  the  market,  is  pure,  or  nearly  so.  If  there  is 
any  impurity,  it  will  be  Alcohol,  which  maybe  determined 
by  the  oil’s  assuming  a milky  appearance  when  water  is 
added  to  it. 

4:88 

OIL  OF  CAJUPUT. 

The  rectified  oil  is  of  a beautiful  green  color,  very  fluid, 
and  transparent.  The  adulterations  are  Oil  of  Turpentine, 
Camphor,  Alcohol,  and  the  lighter  oils.  Iodine  is  probably 


i6o 


APPENDIX. 


the  best  test  of  its  purity.  When  dissolved  in  it,  it  pro- 
duces warmth,  and  thickens  into  a loose  coagulum,  which 
is  soon  changed  into  a dry,  greenish-brown,  brittle  mass. 
Its  specific  gravity — 0.91 — will  detect  Alcohol  and  the 
lighter  oils. 

4=89 

OIL  OF  COPAIBA. 

Dissolved  in  Muriatic  Acid,  it  precipitates  artificial 
Camphor  crystals.  To  determine  if  Turpentine  be  present 
in  large  quantities,  heat  the  oil  in  a test-tube ; smell  the 
fumes  as  they  pass  over.  Turpentine  is  naturally  contained 
in  the  Oil  of  Copaiba,  but  that  does  not  justify  the  manu- 
facturer in  adding  more  to  it,  as  is  often  done. 


4=90 

OIL  OF  CEDAR. 

This  oil,  from  its  close  resemblance  to  Oil  of  Turpen- 
tine, is  perhaps  more  frequently  adulterated  with  that  article 
than  with  any  other.  There  is  no  reliable  means  of  de- 
termining to  a certainty  whether  the  Turpentine  contained 
in  Oil  of  Cedar  is  there  naturally  or  fraudulently. 


4=91 

OIL  OF  CINNAMON. 

When  Nitric  Acid  is  added  to  a pure  Oil  of  Cinnamon, 
a smell  of  Bitter  Almond  Oil  is  perceived,  and  the  mixture 
assumes  a brown,  balsamic  appearance.  When  dissolved 
in  an  alcoholic  solution  of  Caustic  Potassa,  the  solution  at 
first  is  clear,  tinged  with  a red-yellow-brown  coloration. 


APPENDIX. 


161 


After  a while  the  mixture  becomes  turbid,  the  heavy  oil 
precipitating,  and  in  time  the  mixture  becomes  clear  again. 
Iodine  dissolves  the  oil  readily,  generating  considerable 
warmth,  and  leaving  a tough  extract  behind.  Sulphuric 
Acid  forms  a hard  mass  of  brownish  green,  changing  into 
black.  Muriatic  Acid  gives  it  a violet  color. 


*402 

OIL  OF  CASSIA 

is  distinguished  from  Oil  of  Cinnamon  and  other  adulter- 
ations by  its  odor.  Sulphuric  Acid  changes  a pure  oil  to 
a deep  olive-green,  and  Muriatic  Acid  to  a violet  color. 
The  “ warmed-paper  test”  is  also  useful.  See  Oil  of  Neroli. 

403 

OIL  OF  CLOVES. 

A pure  oil  is  spontaneously  decomposed  by  Nitric  Acid, 
forming  a reddish-brown,  solid  mass.  A small  quantity 
of  Sulphuric  Acid  added  to  the  oil  produces  a dark-blue 
coloration  ; and  on  the  addition  of  more  Acid  it  is  changed 
into  a blood-red  solid  mass.  It  is  perfectly  decomposed 
into  brown  flakes  by  Chromate  of  Potassium,  the  Potassium 
losing  its  yellow  color.  The  alcoholic  solution  of  Caustic 
Potassa  congeals  it  into  a crystalline  mass,  at  the  same  time 
destroying  the  clove  odor. 


4S4 

OIL  OF  JUNIPER  BERRIES. 

It  has  a specific  gravity  of  0.91 1,  which  is  reliable  as  a 
test.  It  is  usually  colorless,  or  light  greenish  yellow,  with 

a Turpentine  smell.  It  is  not  very  soluble  in  Alcohol. 

14*

APPENDIX. 


495 

OIL  OF  LAVENDER  FLOWERS. 

This  oil  is  of  so  delicate  a nature  that  it  does  not  suffer 
an  admixture,  except  that  of  Alcohol,  without  becoming 
worthless.  Its  specific  gravity — 0.88  at  6o°  Fahrenheit — 
is  reliable  as  a test  of  its  purity.  Iodine  triturated  in  the 
Oil  of  Lavender  produces  violent  explosions.  This  charac- 
teristic cannot,  however,  be  used  as  a test,  except  to  detect 
the  poorer  grades,  and  they  can  be  detected  easily  by 
smell.  An  admixture  of  Alcohol  and  Oil  of  Lavender 
will  explode  when  rubbed  with  Iodine.  Sulphuric  Acid, 
when  added  to  Oil  of  Lavender,  produces  a reddish-brown 
color  and  a yellow  shade  to  the  Acid. 


496 

OIL  OF  LEMON. 

Its  composition  being  the  same  as  that  of  Oil  of  Turpen- 
tine, with  which  it  is  most  frequently  adulterated,  it  is  diffi- 
cult to  detect  the  impurity  unless  there  is  an  unusual  amount. 
The  odor  is  the  best  mea  s of  ascertaining  its  purity,  which 
can  be  more  readily  ] erceived  by  heating  the  suspected 
oil  in  a test-tube  and  smelling  the  fumes  as  they  pass  over ; 
or  place  a few  drops  of  the  oil  on  a piece  of  warmed 
white  paper,  and  as  the  oil  is  evaporated  the  impurities 
can  be  detected.  If  a stain  remain  upon  the  paper,  it  will 
indicate  that  a fixed  oil  was  used  in  the  adulteration.  The 
addition  of  Alcohol  can  be  proved  by  the  milky  appearance 
which  is  produced  on  the  introduction  of  Water.  Its 
specific  gravity  is  about  0.8517. 


APPENDIX. 


163 


497 

OIL  OF  NEROLI. 

There  are  three  grades  of  this  oil,  viz.,  Oil  of  Neroli 
petale,  Oil  of  Neroli  bigarade,  and  Oil  of  Neroli  petit 
grain.  The  first  named  is  the  pure,  being  distilled  from 
the  flowers  only;  the  second  grade  is  made  from  flowers, 
leaf,  and  stems ; while  the  third  is  composed  of  the  second 
and  Oil  of  Orange.  The  best  means  of  detecting  any  im- 
purities is  the  “ warmed-paper  test.”  Drop  a few  drops 
of  the  oil  upon  a piece  of  warmed  white  paper,  smelling  it 
as  it  evaporates.  After  evaporation,  should  there  remain 
a greasy  stain  upon  the  paper,  it  will  indicate  that  a fixed 
oil  had  been  added  to  it. 


498 

OLIVE  OIL. 

Under  this  name  there  are  many  distinct  oils  sold, 
viz.,  “Peanut  Oil,”  “Oil  of  Sesame,”  “Cotton-Seed  Oil,” 
“Union  Salad,”  and  “Lard  Oil,”  colored.  The  pure 
oil  is  of  a pale  yellowish-green  color,  with  scarcely  any 
odor,  and  has  a bland,  sweetish  taste.  On  exposure  to 
cold  it  congeals  at  38°  Fahrenheit,  and  exposure  to  the  air 
soon  renders  it  rancid.  It  has  a specific  gravity  of  0.9153. 
If  one  ounce  of  Aqua  Ammoniae  be  added  to  two  ounces 
of  the  oil,  and  the  mixture  violently  agitated,  a perfect 
milky  solution  will  be  formed,  which  is  an  excellent  test 
of  its  purity.  Its  congealing  property  will  also  detect  an 
admixture  of  other  oils.  Nitric  Acid  colors  it  green,  and 
if  adulterated  the  mixture  is  of  a yellowish  gray.  To 
determine  the  “fraudulent  oils”  the  Aqua  Ammoniae  test 


APPENDIX. 


is  the  most  reliable,  as  none  of  the  so-called  Olive  Oils  will 
form  a permanent  mixture  with  the  Ammonia,  soon  sep- 
arating after  the  agitation  has  ceased. 


499 

OIL  OF  ORIGANUM. 

This  oil  is  frequently  adulterated  with  Turpentine  or 
Alcohol, — chiefly  done  in  France,  where  it  is  manufactured. 
The  specific  gravity  is  uncertain  as  a test,  since  a strictly 
pure  article  cannot  be  obtained.  Kane  gives  the  specific- 
gravity  at  0.867,  Brande  at  0.909,  and  Lewis  at  0.940. 
The  odor  is  the  only  test,  and  that  is  not  conclusive. 


500 

OIL  OF  ORANGE. 

Owing  to  its  becoming  so  soon  impregnated  with  the 
odor  of  Turpentine  on  exposure  to  light  or  air,  or  to  both, 
it  is  very  difficult  to  determine  whether  the  Turpentine  was 
naturally  contained  in  it  or  had  been  fraudulently  added. 
Being  closely  related  to  Lemon,  the  tests  for  purity  of  that 
oil  are  reliable  for  the  Oil  of  Orange. 


501 

OIL  OF  PEPPERMINT. 

Alcohol  is  frequently  used  as  an  adulteration  ; also  Oil 
of  Turpentine,  and  the  common  mints  or  weeds.  Dissolve 
the  suspected  oil  in  95  per  cent.  Alcohol,  and  if  the  solu- 
tion has  a milky  appearance  it  is  owing  to  mints  or  Tur- 
pentine. If  the  adulteration  is  Turpentine,  the  odor  will 


APPENDIX. 


165 

expose  it ; if  weeds,  the  taste  will.  Be  careful  to  have 
your  Alcohol  90  per  cent,  to  95  per  cent.,  as  below  90 
per  cent,  a pure  Oil  of  Peppermint  will  not  form  a clear 
solution.  Another  test  for  Turpentine  is  to  rub  Iodine 
with  the  oil ; if  so  adulterated,  an  explosion  follows.  Nitric 
Acid  added  to  four  times  its  volume  of  Oil  of  Peppermint 
produces  a purple-red  color.  With  other  oils  it  merely 
becomes  a reddish  brown.  It  has  a specific  gravity  of  from 
0.89  to  0.92. 

502 

OIL  OF  PIMENTO. 

Adulterated  with  Oil  of  Cloves,  which  it  so  closely 
resembles  that  it  can  hardly  be  detected.  It  is  also  adul- 
terated with  other  oils;  the  Oil  of  Cloves  tests  could 
be  used  to  determine  the  admixture.  It  has  a specific 
gravity  of  1.021. 

503 

OIL  OF  ROSE. 

Spermaceti,  White  Wax,  Oil  of  Rose  Geranium,  also 
other  volatile  and  fixed  oils,  are  used  to  adulterate  this 
high-priced  oil.  Dissolve  the  suspected  oil  in  95  percent. 
Alcohol,  and  if  there  remain  undissolved  a flaky  sub- 
stance it  will  indicate  either  Wax  or  Spermaceti.  Drop  a 
few  drops  of  the  oil  on  a piece  of  warmed  white  paper, 
smelling  it  as  it  is  evaporated:  you  can  often  thus  detect 
an  impurity.  After  the  evaporation,  should  a stain  remain 
upon  the  paper,  it  will  be  conclusive  that  a fixed  oil  had 
been  mixed  with  it.  When  adulterated  with  a volatile  oil, 
it  will  not  become  concrete  when  heated.

OIL  OF  ROSE  GERANIUM. 

That  having  a brownish  tint  is  preferable  to  the  greenish 
or  white,  although  the  color  is  not  positive  proof  of  its 
purity  or  fineness.  It  suffers  the  same  admixture  as  the 
other  high-priced  volatile  oils,  and  the  tests  for  purity 
are  the  same.  See  Oil  of  Rose. 


505 

OIL  OF  ROSEMARY. 

Adulterated  with  Turpentine  chiefly.  To  detect,  dis- 
solve the  suspected  oil  in  Alcohol;  if  pure,  a perfect  solu- 
tion will  be  formed.  Alcohol  will  not  dissolve  Turpentine. 
Oil  of  Rosemary  has  a specific  gravity  of  0.897. 

50S 

OIL  OF  SANDALWOOD. 

This  oil  is  used  medicinally,  and  as  a perfume.  It  is 
largely  adulterated  with  Castor  Oil.  To  determine  if 
Castor  Oil  be  present,  place  half  a drachm  of  the  suspected 
oil  in  a capsule  and  heat  it  on  a sand-bath,  or  put  it  into  a 
glass  test-tube  and  heat  it  until  the  oil  contains  no  odor 
of  Sandalwood.  Should  there  be  any  residue,  add  eight 
drops  of  Nitric  Acid  to  it ; and  when  the  action  has  ceased 
add  slowly  a solution  of  Carbonate  of  Sodium.  If  adul- 
terated with  Castor  Oil,  its  well-known  smell  will  detect  it. 
The  “ warmed-paper  test”  can  also  be  used  to  advantage. 
See  test  for  Oil  of  Neroli.

The  specific  gravity,  1.094,  will  detect  an  adulteration 
with  Alcohol.  Iodine  dissolved  in  it  produces  a clear 
solution  without  thickening.  The  addition  of  one  part  of 
Sulphuric  Acid  to  two  parts  of  Oil  of  Sassafras  produces  a 
green  color  not  obtainable  with  any  other  oil.  On  the 
application  of  heat  to  this  green  mixture,  it  changes  into  a 
blood-red.  When  Oil  of  Sassafras  has  been  kept  a long 
time  it  precipitates  transparent  crystals.  Another  test : a 
pure  Oil  of  Sassafras  will  dissolve  india-rubber. 


508 

OIL  OF  SAVIN. 

Its  specific  gravity,  0.915,  is  a good  test  of  its  purity. 


509 

OIL  OF  SPEARMINT. 

After  distillation  it  has  a pale-yellow  or  greenish  color, 
which  is  changed  by  age  into  a red  or  mahogany  color.  It 
is  subject  to  the  same  admixtures  as  Oil  of  Peppermint, 
and  its  purity  is  determined  by  the  same  tests. 


510 

OIL  OF  TANSY 

is  quite  frequently  adulterated  with  Turpentine  or  Alcohol. 
To  determine  an  admixture  of  Turpentine,  add  Alcohol 
to  the  suspected  oil.  If  the  solution  is  clear,  the  oil  is 
pure,  so  far  as  Turpentine  is  concerned.  If  adulterated 
with  Alcohol,  the  oil,  on  the  addition  of  Water,  will 
assume  a milky  appearance.

511 

OIL  OF  VERBENA 

is  subject  to  the  same  admixtures  as  the  other  volatile 
oils.  The  “ warmed-paper  test”  is  preferable  to  any  other 
to  detect  impurities.  See  Oil  of  Neroli. 


512 

OIL  OF  WINTERGREEN. 

Its  specific  gravity,  1.173,  is  the  best  test  of  its  purity. 
It  is  the  heaviest  of  the  known  essential  oils.  Alcohol  and 
the  fixed  oils  are  the  chief  adulterations. 


513 

OIL  OF  WORMSEED 

is  seldom  if  ever  adulterated.  Its  specific  gravity  is  0.908. 


514 

OIL  OF  WORMWOOD. 

This  oil  is  very  largely  adulterated  with  Turpentine  or 
Alcohol,  colored  green  to  imitate  a pure  oil.  To  determine 
the  presence  of  either  of  these  admixtures,  apply  the  tests  for 
Oil  of  Tansy. 


515 

OIL  OF  YLANG-YLANG. 

The  “ warmed-paper  test”  is  reliable  to  determine  the 
purity  of  this  oil.  See  Oil  of  Neroli .

ADULTERATIONS  OF  SPICES,  ETC. 

516 

GROUND  CLOVES. 

Allspice  is  very  much  used  to  adulterate  this  Spice,  and 
no  doubt  will  continue  to  be  until  the  price  of  Cloves  is 
reduced.  It  can  readily  be  detected  by  careful  tasting. 


517 

GROUND  CINNAMON. 

The  poorer  grades  of  Cinnamon  Bark  are  frequently 
ground  and  flavored  with  Oil  of  Cinnamon.  The  cold- 
water  test  would  expose  this.  See  Ground  Ginger . 


518 

GROUND  GINGER. 

Corn  Meal  is  an  ingredient  to  a much  larger  extent  in 
this  spice  than  many  suppose.  The  aromatic  is  supplied 
with  powdered  Capsicum.  It  is  very  easily  detected  by 
throwing  a teaspoonful  into  a tumblerful  of  Water,  and 
watching  it  as  it  is  precipitated;  then  pour  off  the  Water 
and  carefully  taste  it. 

519 

GROUND  MUSTARD. 

Corn  Meal,  Flour,  and  powdered  Capsicum  are  quite 
frequently  found  in  packages  labelled  “ Pure  Ground 
Mustard.’ ’ The  eye  will  detect  the  admixture  after  being 
directed  to  it.  Or  throw  a teaspoonful  into  a tumblerful  of 

Water,  and,  after  it  has  settled,  carefully  taste  it.

GROUND  BLACK  PEPPER. 

To  detect  any  foreign  matter  in  this  spice,  throw  a tea- 
spoonful into  a tumblerful  of  Water.  After  it  has  settled, 
pour  off  the  Water,  and  carefully  taste  it. 


521 

CREAM  OF  TARTAR. 

Flour,  Terra  Alba,  Alum,  and  Chalk  are  the  chief  ingre- 
dients found  in  adulterated  Cream  of  Tartar.  To  determine 
the  admixture  of  Flour,  rub  a few  grains  of  Iodine  with 
one  ounce  of  the  suspected  Cream  of  Tartar ; if  so  adul- 
terated, a blue  tint  to  the  mixture  will  be  produced.  Or 
by  dissolving  a small  quantity  in  Water  you  can  prove  its 
presence  by  the  stickiness.  Chalk  may  be  determined  by 
its  effervescing  on  the  addition  of  diluted  acids;  Alum  by 
dissolving  in  hot  water  and  allowing  the  solution  to  crys- 
tallize ; Terra  Alba  and  other  clays  by  their  insolubility  in 
a hot  solution  of  Caustic  Potassa. 


522 

GLYCERINE 

is  often  adulterated  with  Grape-Sugar,  which  may  be 
detected  by  heating  the  suspected  Glycerine  in  a test-tube 
with  a small  piece  of  Caustic  Potassa ; the  Sugar,  if  present, 
will  be  changed  to  a dirty  black  color.  If  the  adulteration 
be  Cane-Sugar,  it  assumes  a blue  tint.  Treated  with  a 
solution  of  Nitrate  of  Silver,  if  any  impurities  are  contained 
in  the  Glycerine  a white  or  dirty  white  precipitate  will  be 
the  result.  Any  excess  of  Chlorine  or  Chlorides  may  be 


APPENDIX. 


171 


detected  with  a solution  of  Nitrate  of  Silver;  if  any  im- 
purities exist,  a white  precipitate  will  be  formed.  When 
perfectly  pure,  Glycerine  is  not  affected  by  this  solution, 
and  will  be  odorless  and  colorless.  Lead  may  be  proven 
by  Sulphide  of  Ammonium,  and  Lime  by  Oxalate  of  Am- 
monium. The  heavier  its  specific  gravity,  the  better  it  is

IMPROVED  SYRUP  OF  PROTOXIDE  OF  IRON. 

Sulphate  of  Iron  (crystallized),  1300  grains; 

Water  of  Ammonia  (sp.  gr.  960),  3 fluidounces; 

Nitric  Acid  (sp.  gr.  1.393),  1 fluidounce; 

Oil  of  Sassafras,  3 minims ; 

Alcohol,  fluiddrachm ; 

Sugar  (granulated),  a sufficient  quantity; 

Water,  a sufficient  quantity. 

Dissolve  the  Sulphate  of  Iron  and  two  ounces  of  Sugar 
in  one  pint  of  Water.  Add  the  Water  of  Ammonia  grad- 
ually, stirring  with  a glass  rod.  Transfer  this  to  a strainer, 
and  wash  the  precipitate  with  sweetened  Water — two  ounces 
of  Sugar  to  the  pint — until  free  from  Sulphate  of  Ammo- 
nia. Place  the  magma  in  a large  mortar.  Add  to  it  four 
ounces  of  Sugar  and  two  ounces  of  Water.  Mix  well,  and 
to  the  mixture  add  gradually  the  Nitric  Acid  diluted  with 
three  ounces  of  Water.  Toward  the  last  add  the  Acid, 
drop  by  drop,  until  the  color  of  the  ferrous  oxide  just  be- 
gins to  change  to  a brown  color.  Having  graduated  a 
bottle  to  hold  two  pints,  place  twenty  ounces  of  Sugar  in 
it  and  filter  the  liquid  upon  this,  adding  Water,  if  necessary, 
through  the  filter  to  bring  the  measure  of  the  whole  to  two 
pints.  Dissolve  the  Oil  of  Sassafras  in  the  Alcohol,  and 
mix  it  with  the  Syrup.  Finally,  add  to  the  Syrup  diluted 
Nitric  Acid  in  quantity  just  sufficient  to  render  the  prep- 
aration slightly  acid.  Dissolve  the  Sugar  by  simple  agi- 
tation, without  heat,  and  if  necessary  filter  again  through 
paper.

EXTRACTS  FROM  POMADES. 

(for  the  handkerchief.) 

Pomade  Jasmine,  Triple,  i pound  ; 

Pure  Spirit,  i pint. 

Cut  the  Pomade  in  small  pieces  and  place  in  a quart 
bottle,  add  the  Pure  Spirit,  and  cork  the  bottle  tightly. 
Then  place  the  bottle  in  a water-bath  and  apply  heat  suffi- 
cient to  melt  the  Pomade.  Shake  well  together,  and  repeat 
the  shaking  frequently  until  the  fatty  matter  solidifies. 
Allow  this  to  stand  for  several  days,  shaking  it  occasionally, 
then  drain  off  the  liquid  extract  into  another  bottle;  if 
this  fall  short  of  a pint,  repeat  the  operation  with  a suffi- 
cient quantity  of  Pure  Spirit  to  make  up  to  sixteen  fluid- 
ounces.  The  Pomade  may  be  treated  several  times  as 
above,  resulting  in  a weaker  extract  each  time,  which  will 
be  found  useful  in  the  preparation  of  cheaper  perfumes. 
Extracts  from  all  the  “ Triple  Pomades’ ’ can  be  made  after 
the  above  formula.

III.  Chalybeate  Waters  are  characterized  by  their 
inky  taste,  and  by  striking  a blue-black  color  with  an  in- 
fusion of  galls,  and  a blue  color  with  ferrocyanuret  of  po- 
tassium. The  iron  is  generally  in  the  state  of  carbonate 
of  the  protoxide,  held  in  solution  in  the  water  by  excess 
of  carbonic  acid.  By  standing,  or  boiling,  the  carbonic 
acid  is  driven  off,  and  the  protoxide,  by  absorbing  oxygen, 
is  precipitated  as  a hydrated  sesquioxide,  of  an  ochreous 
color.

IV.  Saline  Waters  comprise  those  which  contain  a suffi- 
cient amount  of  neutral  salts  to  give  them  a marked  and 
generally  a purgative  operation.  The  salts  most  usually 
present  are  the  sulphates  and  carbonates  of  lime,  magne- 
sia, and  soda,  and  the  chlorides  of  calcium,  sodium,  and 
magnesium.  Iodine  and  bromine  have  been  found  in  a 
few  saline  springs ; and  some  of  them  contain  carbonic 
acid  and  iron,  which  might  entitle  them  to  be  classified, 
respectively,  with  the  carbonated  or  chalybeate  waters.

water  from  soaking  into  it  while  boiling.  It  is  then  to  be 
boiled  until  it  becomes  a hard,  dry  mass. 

Two  or  three  spoonfuls  of  this  may  be  grated  and  pre- 
pared in  the  same  manner  as  arrowroot,  for  which  it  forms 
an  excellent  substitute. 


771 

CHOCOLATE. 

Chocolate  should  be  suffered  to  stand  until  cold,  after

INSTRUCTIONS  FOR  THE  USE  OF  ANILINE 
COLORS. 

(One  ounce  of  Aniline  Dyes  will  dye,  Medium  Shade,  seventeen 
pounds  of  Wool,  or  eight  pounds  of  Silk  or  Cotton  Goods.) 

It  is  very  important  to  have  a pure  water  bath  free  from 
all  foreign  ingredients  which  may  be  injurious  to  the  dye. 
To  clean  water  add  half  a pound  of  Alum  to  five  gallons 
of  Water,  and  boil  and  skim. 

In  dyeing  with  Aniline  color,  it  is  essential  to  use  only 
wooden  or  tin  vessels;  copper  or  iron  is  very  injurious 
to  the  color.  Where  woollen  yarns  contain  grease,  it  is 
important  to  wash  them  well  in  a bath  of  soda  and  soap. 

Dyeing. — Prepare  a bath,  scalding  hot  (not  boiling),  put 
into  it  as  much  of  the  dissolved  dye  as  will  give  you  the 
desired  shade,  and  then  put  in  your  goods,  which,  after  a 
lapse  of  twenty  or  thirty  minutes,  will  be  completely  dyed. 
Wash  the  goods  only  slightly  after  dyeing,  in  pure  water. 
Strain  through  cloth  to  remove  the  specks.  In  making  up 
the  bath,  use  about  one  drachm  of  the  required  dye  to  two 
ounces  of  water  or  alcohol.

well  mixed ; strain ; then  put  in  the  goods  and  boil  the 
whole  nearly  an  hour ; take  them  out  and  rinse  thoroughly 
in  clear  soft  water.  Unless  the  water  is  very  clean  and 
soft,  it  is  better  to  rinse  them  in  alum  water, — made  by 
dissolving  eight  ounces  of  alum  in  five  gallons  of  water. 

Particular  care  should  be  taken  to  get  pure  cream  of 
tartar,  as  a large  proportion  sold  contains  metallic  impuri- 
ties, which  will  prevent  a good  color.

turn  the  vitriol  water  into  the  other,  and  keep  the  dye  at  a 
scalding  (not  boiling)  heat  for  twenty  minutes : if  cotton 
goods,  boil  for  ten  minutes,  stirring  constantly  to  keep  from 
spotting.  To  set  the  color,  immerse  the  goods  in  scald- 
ing hot  water  containing  a teacupful  of  salt  to  three 
gallons  of  water ; let  the  goods  remain  in  until  cold,  then 
hang  them  to  dry  without  wringing.  Boiling  suds  will  set

DETECTING  MIXED  WHISKEY. 


3°9 


826 

MODE  OF  DETECTING  MIXED  OR  RECTIFIED  WHISKEY. 

The  various  stamps  now  required  by  the  government 
offer  an  easy  means  of  detecting  spurious  or  adulterated 
whiskey.  They  are  four,  called,  respectively,  ‘ 4 Distillery 
Warehouse, ” “ Tax  paid,”  “ Wholesale  Liquor  Dealer’s,” 
and  “ Rectifier’s”  stamp,  and  can  be  easily  recognized,  as 
they  are  all  so  marked.  When  a barrel  is  filled  at  the  dis- 
tillery, it  is  at  once  stamped  with  the  “ Distillery  Ware- 
house” stamp,  and  removed  to  the  bonded  warehouse, 
where  it  can  remain  one  year,  until  the  tax  of  seventy 
cents  per  gallon  is  paid,  when  a “ Tax  paid”  stamp  is 
affixed,  denoting  the  number  of  gallons  on  which  the  tax 
has  been  paid,  and  it  is  then  ready  for  market,  free  from 
government  control ; so  that  all  whiskey  originally  from  the 
distillery,  unchanged,  and  in  the  original  packages,  should 
have  the  Distillery  Warehouse  and  Tax  paid  stamps  affixed. 
The  law  requires  that  when  any  change  is  made  in  the 
character  of  the  whiskey  by  mixing,  diluting,  manipulating 
in  any  way,  or  adding  anything,  it  shall  be  deemed  “ rec- 
tification,” and  a “ Rectifier’s”  stamp  placed  upon  the 
barrel,  instead  of  the  two  original  stamps,  which  must  be 
removed ; also,  the  name  of  the  rectifier  and  the  date  of 
rectification  are  to  be  branded  on  the  barrel.  The  Whole- 
sale Liquor  Dealer’s  stamp  is  intended  to  cover  the  transfer 
from  an  original  stamped  barrel  to  smaller  packages,  from 
five  gallons  up,  to  meet  the  wants  of  the  retail  dealer. 
The  law  requires  that  every  package  containing  five  gal- 
lons or  more  shall  bear  a stamp ; the  Wholesale  Liquor 
Dealer’s  stamp,  being  made  exclusively  for  that  purpose, 


3io 


WEIGHTS  AND  MEASURES. 


should  never  be  used  on  a barrel.  Rectifiers  and  com- 
pounders affix  the  Wholesale  Liquor  Dealer’s  stamp  instead 
of  the  Rectifier’s  (the  proper  one  required  by  law  on  all 
whiskey  that  has  been  mixed  or  compounded),  as  that  would 
show  the  character  of  the  whiskey.  Some  also  affix  their 
business  card,  designed  in  appearance  to  represent  a gov- 
ernment stamp,  to  convey  the  impression  that  it  is  a regular 
“ two  stamp,”  or  original  goods.  But  when  a barrel  bears 
either  a Wholesale  Liquor  Dealer’s  or  a Rectifier’s  stamp, 
it  is  prima  facie  evidence  of  its  being  mixed  or  made-up 
goods;  when  a barrel  bears  both  the  “ Distillery  Ware- 
house” and  “Tax  paid”  stamp,  it  may  generally  be  re- 
garded as  pure,  though  dealers  sometimes  draw  out  a 
portion  of  an  original  barrel  and  refill  with  spirits. 

Stamps  were  first  used  in  November,  1868;  all  whiskeys 
then  made  and  in  bond  were  stamped  only  with  the  “Tax 
paid”  stamp;  all  made  after  or  during  November,  1868, 
require  the  Distillery  Warehouse  and  Tax  paid  stamps  to 
be  affixed  on  original  packages.
